Justin Verlander, an ageless wonder at 36, threw his third career no-hitter today, pitching a complete game shutout against the Blue Jays.
After completing the no-hitter, Verlander sought out his teammate, rookie third baseman Abraham Toro, who hit a two-run home run in the ninth to put the Astros up 2-0 and also assisted on the final out.
This is a cool moment from Verlander who, although he has been prickly with the media of late, is in the midst of a possible Cy Young season. It’s been a marvel to watch him compete at this level into his mid-thirties, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
